Chapter 2: The Super Soldier Serum!

"Cheats?"

"Open it immediately!"

Zhou Yuan became excited in an instant, clenching his fist tightly.

The war between the human race and the insect race was about to begin.

Originally, he had thought of staying on Earth and living a peaceful life, or joining the strategic forces as an intelligence officer who rarely went to the battlefield.

But now, with the system...

Perhaps it was time to change his goals, such as becoming a federal congressman or a commander of a space fortress, where a single word could determine the fate of a planet.

[Ding, open the binding gift package.]

[Obtained Level 3 Soul Box * 5, Level 2 Soul Box * 3, Level 1 Soul Box * 1, Variable String Ring * 1.]

[Level 3 Soul Box: Can open one random Level 3 item.]

[Level 2 Soul Box: Can open one random Level...]

[Level 1 Soul Box: Can...]

[Variable String Ring: Contains a high-dimensional space that can be used for storage.]

"That's great!"

Zhou Yuan looked at the descriptions of the gift boxes and the ring, and his eyes lit up.

The gift boxes could contain various technological products, and the higher the level of the gift box, the better the items inside.

And this variable string ring could be understood as a spatial ring, containing a cubic space with sides nearly five meters long, approximately a hundred cubic meters.

"System, open all the gift boxes!"

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yuan opened all eight gift boxes.

Whether he was playing games or living his life, he didn't have the habit of saving money. Making money was his style.

Moreover, graduation was imminent.

The future path he should take might depend on what these gift boxes could provide.

[Opened Level 3 Soul Box, obtained Quick Healing Potion * 1.]

[Opened Level 3 Soul Box, obtained M82S Anti-Material Sniper Rifle * 1.]

[Opened Level 3 Soul Box, obtained...]

[Opened Level 2 Soul Box, obtained Infinite Ammo S500 Revolver * 1.]

[Opened Level 2 Soul Box, obtained...]

[Opened Level 1 Soul Box, obtained Super Soldier Serum * 1.]

"Excellent!"

Looking at the items from the gift boxes, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The items from all eight gift boxes were quite good.

Level 3: Three medical potions, one hand grenade, one heavy sniper rifle.

Level 2: One infinite ammo revolver, one set of full-body bulletproof armor, one box of restorative cigars.

Level 1: Super Soldier Serum.

There was nothing special about the medical potions, they were emergency healing drugs used on the battlefield, capable of treating mild to moderate injuries and delaying death from severe wounds.

The hand grenade and heavy sniper rifle were also nothing extraordinary, just newer models of conventional weapons.

The S500 revolver with infinite ammo was quite impressive; one shot could take down an adult elephant, not to mention it had infinite ammo.

The full-body bulletproof armor was also a good item, resembling a set of winter thermal underwear, and the description stated that it could defend against automatic rifles.

However, the enemies of humans were insects, even the lowest-level worker bugs could tear open starship alloys with their pincers, so the bulletproof armor would probably only provide some protection against scrapes and grazes.

He liked the restorative cigars; there were thirty in a box, one could be restored every day, providing a boost to both mental and physical energy.

And finally, the most precious item among the eight gift boxes...

The Super Soldier Serum!

After using it, the user's physical abilities would be enhanced, increasing brain utilization and pushing the body's potential to its pinnacle.

The serum was designated as SSS, which sounded familiar to him, like a prop he had seen in a sci-fi movie.

"Captain America?"

Zhou Yuan's lips curled up, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

Regardless of where this serum came from, the important thing was that it had good effects.

After using this serum, he would be able to survive even on the battlefield.

Because...

He could at least ensure that he could run faster than others!

... ...

After checking the gift box items, Zhou Yuan left the public restroom and headed towards the cafeteria.

The system had various functions, currently divided into:

[Personal], [Achievements], [Shop], [Titles], [Missions].

However, he could only access [Personal] for now, the other panels were all grayed out and temporarily inaccessible.

Host: Zhou Yuan

Identity: 18-year-old male human, fourth-year high school student

Attributes: Strength 0.9, Agility 1.1, Endurance 0.9, Defense 0.8, Self-healing 0.8, Skill 0.6, Brain Function 1.7

Skills: Rapid Memory, Rapid Learning

Items: Super Soldier Serum, Infinite Ammo S500, Full-body Bulletproof...

Soul Points: 0

This was his current personal panel, except for the relatively high Brain Function value, the other attributes were not particularly high, just considered to be healthy and strong.

The last line, Soul Points, was the key to using the system.

Soul Points: Currency used to purchase system goods, can be obtained by hunting and killing creatures, with the value determined by the strength of the creature.

The explanation was simple and straightforward.

This was the way the game worked, leveling up by killing monsters.

The Arachnis insects were the best monsters, but killing insects was not that simple.

He planned to use the Super Soldier Serum at night and then make a decision about the future based on its effectiveness.

If the serum proved to be powerful enough, he would directly join the Mobile Corps and become an infantryman. He would soon be able to go to the battlefield and earn Soul Points.

If the serum didn't meet expectations, then there would be trouble.

The Human Federation had three branches of the military: the Mobile Corps, the Starship Corps, and the Strategic Corps.

The Mobile Corps consisted of foot soldiers, and one could join after graduating from high school. After completing a one-month basic training period, they would be assigned to a combat unit.

The Starship Corps was different. To join, one had to apply to the Starship Academy and undergo three years of flight training.

Even after graduation, one might not be able to pilot a starship. It would be a stretch just to be assigned to the most basic transport spacecraft, starting from the lowest position in the bridge crew.

The Strategic Corps didn't require a prerequisite Strategic Academy, but it was even harder to get promoted than the Starship Corps.

After joining, one might spend several years answering phone calls and might not have the chance to engage in combat with the insects in their entire lifetime. It wasn't suitable for someone like him who currently had cheats.

So.

He hoped the Super Soldier Serum would be powerful enough.

That way, he could save several years and directly become an infantryman to earn Soul Points.
